give 1t in charge of a commission O three, two of whom will probably be untried men ? At the best 1t is ''tak, ing leap in the dark" and there is strong suspicion that there is "a nig- ger in the wood pile somewhere. ' The Chicago beef monopolists are the real parents of the proposed measure and they are working with all their might and main to secure its passage. If they can do this, and then get two men appointed on the commission, they will have as nice scheme as mo, nopolists ever dreamt of, to swell their already plethoric purses. No one doubts the ability of the proposed commission to get away with the ap- propriation of SI, 1000, 900 that is asked for, but what guarantee is there that they would expend it for the benefit of the stock interests, and not for stock gamblers.

THE St. Johns Herald, in a recent
 issue, said that among other legisla-
 tive amendments, it is hoped the next
 assembly will so revise existing laws that justice of the peace will not be allowed to discharge person who IS charged with murder. Since this ap-
 peared, several of the territorial pa-
 pers have referred to the matter, en- dorsing the position taken by the
 Herald, Such a restriction of the power of justice of the peace is all very we'll in the eastern states where writ of habeas corpus can be obtain ed from court of competent jurisdic- ton in very brief time. But how would the editor of the Herald feel |, if he was charged with the crime of murder and when he proved an indis- putable alibi, the justice of the peace be compelled to hold him in "dur- ance vile" until writ of habeas cor pus could be obtained from the near est judge having jurisdiction. It might take many days to obtain such a writ in this territory, and murder is not bailable offence. The laws of an eastern state are not always ad apt ed to place like Arizona. If the suggestion of the Herald was acted upon by the legislature, a man whose innocence was as clear as the light of day, might-because some idiot per sisted in accusing him-be held in jail for a week.

SliEEP AND WOOL.

The sheep breeder and wool grow, CT of Chicago reproduces the commu, nication on prevention of scab in sheep from Messrs. Daggs Bros. which appeared Tn the CHAMPION of Dec. nth.
 Secretary Manning has come out in favor of free raw material and espcc. tally wool. He says that the petty tax of s5,Ia6, IoS on raw wool "assists in nearly doubling the actual cost of their clothing to the American Peo. pie" In answer to this,, Rogers, Peet & Co.,, of New York, one of the lar gcst clothing manufacturing firms in the United States, says: "Evidenlly Mir. Manning was never in the cloth. ing business, or he would know that the raw wool contained in a suit of SIS or sao clothes actually costs less than $. the dltY on which would be about sr.a5."
 From Choteau, Montana, come re- ports of losses of sheep caused by the severe storms. It is estimated that at least 1000 sheep belonging to wool growers on the Teton and Muddy per ished while som: bands drifted away for miles but were 'aherward recovered by the owners with slight loss.
 While watching the markets, fgur- ing out the shortage of wool in the world or fixing your price for next spring, don't forget that the wool is growing on the sheep's back and that 1t may be worth two or three cent more or less per pound when clipped, according to the care given the ami mals that produce it.
 A review of the Chicago wool mar ket during the last year says, that a satisfactory condition of the trade is shown. Early in June prices began to advance most bright and many of the grades of western wools being taken as fast as offered. The result is that today the supply of bright wools Tn the market is less than it has been for some five years. The outlook is good for the Chicago market and for the western wool growers. During the year the houses have handled more wool than during any previous year. The amount of wool in the market at present is put at about 1000, 900 pounds.

IN the somewhat bitter discussion
 regarding the Warner Miller bill for the suppression of contagious cattle diseases, now before Congress, one
 thing IS very apparent--the stock growers Of the west and south west have no confidence in the good faith and honest purpose of the men who are the foremost champions of the measure. The proposal to take the matter out of the hands of the Bureau of animal Industry and place it in charge of thyee Commissioners to be appointed by the president can on- ly be justified on the ground that the present bureau is unable to grapple with the difficulty. As this does not seem to be the case why take the bus mess out of hands that have dealt with it efficiently and satisfactorily and

THE BEEF PROBLEM,

The beef problem IS not easy of so- lution. The present condition of things shows this curious anomaly, that with a rapidly increasing demand for the product--a demand which grows faster than the supply-the price of beef remains so low that on ly large and fortunate growers of stock realize a living profit on their market able beef cattle.
 What are the causes that lead to this condition of things? One of them undoubtedly IS, that large number of stockmen have been in the habit of sending inferior cattle to market. An other IS, that railroads have discrim- mated in favor of large shippers. To some extent this is a rule with all commodities. A man who ships a large amount of pig iron obtains lower rate of freight than small shipper of the same metal and the same rule will apply to the shipping of pigs or beef, But, it is asserted, that the reduction made by railroads to extensive shippers of beef (by means ot rebates) have been inordin- ately large, giving an opportunity to make profit where the smaller grow CT cannot.
 The important question is: Where is the remedy for this evil2 Some have seen salvation in packing houses near the cattle ranges, thus concen- trating the weight to be shipped and saving a large percentage of the freight. This has proven to be an inefficient remedy. Such establish, ments have been started at Pueblo, Las Animas, Fort Worth and many other places, and they have all been failures. Why? Because a packing house can only be successful where fat cattle can be obtained every day in the year. Such enterprises cannot pay if they have to remain idle when the stockmen have no beet cattle for them and this will be the case in the west until it becomes beef fattening country,
 The most promising remedy seems to be in the increase of markets, thus begctting healthy competition and weakening monopoly. Every new stock yard started in the great cen, ters of beef consumption will prove a benefit to the smaller cattle growers. The source of evil IS from the money power. Millionaires band themselves together, and when the markets are concentrated at such few points their wealth is almost omnipotent in con trolling them. You cannot obtain any remedy by legislation, because these men buy legislatures the same as they buy other cattle. An increase of market facilities seems to be the best remedy at present, because it will place the business beyond the grasp of the syndicate now controlling it and enable it to resume the normal condition of all markets, when prlces are regulated by the laws of supply and demand.
